Stitchin’ Heaven Howdy

This soup is really the best!  My friend Dana and I often get together at my house and sew.  And, being the focused individuals that we are, we don’t want to leave the sewing room to cook.  Dana discovered this recipe in the “Fix It and Forget It Cookbook” – a cookbook of crock pot recipes.  We added a couple of ingredients but basically here is how it goes:

4 skinless/boneless chicken breasts

2 cans black beans (I use Bush’s)

2 cans Rotel tomatoes (My friends, Karen and Brenda Lou from the west coast wanted to know what Rotel is…what??????)

1 small can chopped green chili’s (don’t use chipolte…Dana and I did this one time and had to give the whole pot to the fellows we had working in the yard that day.  TOO HOT!)

1 small can tomato sauce

Throw it all in a crock pot, set it to cook 4 – 6 hours or long enough for your chicken to fall apart (whichever comes first).  Add 1 can shoepeg corn and 1 small can sliced olives about 30 minutes before you serve it. 

This stuff is just yummy.  You can serve it with garlic bread, flour tortillas, or even cornbread.  Warmed over it is even better!  I have heard that this cookbook has been discontinued and I noticed we took it off our site.  I do believe, however that I might have an extra copy or two of it.  If you want one of them please email me and I’ll see what I can do.  Serve this at your next quilt retreat – you’ll make your friends smile! 

Ciao!
